Meanwhile, Rick Perry is convinced that ISIS is coming in from Mexico. Get the Marines down there, pronto.
The talking point seems to have faded, but it’s replaced by an equally foolish argument. Andrew Kaczynski reports on Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s (R) appearance in Washington, D.C., this morning, where the likely presidential candidate said ISIS terrorists may be – you guessed it – entering the United States through Mexico.
“Individuals from ISIS or other terrorist states could be, and I think it’s a very real possibility that they have already used that,” Perry said during a speech at the Heritage Foundation Thursday.
Perry said he didn’t have any “clear evidence” of that but said “common sense” tells you it could occur, citing crimes from undocumented immigrants.
The governor went on to say that he’s aware of “historic” levels of border crossings from “from countries with terrorist ties.” Which countries? Perry specifically referenced Ukraine – which isn’t at all known for its terrorist ties.Last edited by ScoobyDoo; 08-21-2014, 02:35 PM.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

Re: The Global War on Terror 5.0: Putin on the Risk
there are plenty of effective ways to take out ISIS that do not involve the US using its own ground troops, people. sheesh.
this simply seems to me one "red line" that we simply must enforce. they beheaded a US journalist explicitly to intimidate us into leaving. If such an act is allowed to stand unchallenged, how can any US citizen ever be safe overseas again?Last edited by FreshFish; 08-21-2014, 04:18 PM."Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."

Notice how this kind of sh^t never happens to the Russians? ever wonder why?
am I the only person here who stood up to the school bully? did the rest of you cave when threatened with a physical beating? how did that work out for you? did he leave you alone after that??
ISIS beheaded the guy BECAUSE we were bombing the sh ! t out of them. Not because we were doing nothing. Are you truly this stupid to think the US will now stop bombing them because of this? ISIS is already being challenged and from this action a sane person can reason that they're taking serious losses by resorting to this desparate action.
BTW - I have no doubt you got your @ ss kicked on a regular basis by bullies in school....and that's not even counting the male bullies. But please, keep the tough guy routine going for all of our amusement if you don't mind.Legally drunk???? If its "legal", what's the ------- problem?!? - George Carlin

Re: The Global War on Terror 5.0: Putin on the Risk
The beheading of journalist James Foley has prompted American officials to begin working to knit together a broader international campaign to combat the extremists of the Islamic State, an effort that the Pentagon warned will require taking the fight beyond Iraq and into neighboring Syria.
The Obama administration has indicated it is prepared to continue selective airstrikes against the extremists inside Iraq, where they have seized significant swaths of territory. But Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned that the Islamic State, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, can't be defeated without choking off its operations in Syria.
"And that will come when we have a coalition in the region that takes on the task of defeating ISIS over time," he said at a Pentagon press conference, where he appeared with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel."Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."
